Neutral Start (or Safety) Switch

Recommended Posts

Car wouldn't start. No code showed. Then I remembered that transmission lights (P,R & N, on dash) wouldn't show when car is cold. My mechanic friend suggested I'll need a new neutral safety switch.

Car started after playing with trans and getting light (P) to come on. Also noticed that engine revs higher 7500-8000 rpm when Park light is OFF. When I push trans lever hard (toward stereo), Park light comes on and idle speed returns to normal 600 rpm.

Anyone know where neutral safety switch is?

I checked with Rock auto and there are two units, $135 and $195 (ACDelco).

Any help welcome

:cheers:

On the transmission where the gear shift linkage bolts to the trans.

Found it. Thought it could be reached from behind console...wasted effort.

Located it on right side of trans. Ordered new unit from Autozone $143. Will install this weekend.

Thanks.
